As of spring of 2014, due to health reasons, we have decided not to ship chicks any longer. We've been doing it for a number of years, and at this point, due to the efforts of many members of the American Buckeye Poultry Club and The Livestock Conservancy, the numbers of Buckeyes in North America have moved from about 500 in 2008 to more than 5,000 at the present time.We have never sold Buckeyes to make money, in fact at one point we ran the numbers and determined we lost money on every box of chicks we shipped. It has always been our goal to help improve the breed and increase its numbers, and as of now, the Livestock Conservancy has moved the Buckeye from its Critical list to its Threatened list, which we take as a very good sign.Now it's time for Stage Two, as it were, to focus on breeding the very best Buckeyes all of us can (not that we didn't do that before, of course.)For those wishing to purchase chicks, I encourage you to seek out a member of the ABPC near you, using this Breeders List to find someone from whom to purchase birds. A number of the folks on that list also ship chicks as well as started birds, and we feel certain that you should be able to find good quality specimens of the breed from the folks on that list.And as always, we are more than willing to assist folks, please don't hesitate to contact us if you need help. You can find us in the ABPC Facebook group or you can send us an email. We're not going away completely, just scaling back to a more manageable level.
